Youth suspected of Molotov cocktail attack cleared

The Jerusalem District Prosecutor's Office has decided to close the investigation against a 13-year-old suspected of throwing a Molotov cocktail at a Palestinian cab last August near the settlement of Bat Ayin due to lack of evidence.

According to a Justice Ministry statement: "After thoroughly examining the investigation material, we requested that an additional investigation be conducted. However, even then, the material evidence collected failed to fulfill the requirements demanded by criminal law, and hence no indictment was filed. The investigation of the incident will continue."
